In the lower right hand corner of my screen, everytime I download, a download window pops up, that scans what I downloaded for a virus then gives me a message that says download is complete. How do I disable that feature?.

To turn off the alert you can change a hidden preference.

  1. Type about:config into the location bar and press enter
  2. Accept the warning message that appears, you will be taken to a list of preferences
  3. Locate the preference browser.download.manager.showAlertOnComplete and double-click on it to change its value to false
  4. If you want to stop Firefox requesting a virus scan, double click on the preference browser.download.manager.scanWhenDone to change its value to false
